A cycle of decks I designed from my spare cards to teach/ play with beginners to the game.

*like*Try to keep the number of different effects like trample, draw cards, 'whenever enters the battlefield' effects low and focus on cards that are rather easy to understand. Beginners don't want to learn a ton of cards and effects after they already have their head smoking from learning the basic rules. Try to use cards 4 times and don't throw in to many 1-offs. 'Search your library for XYZ' effects, like "Elvish Harbinger", are pure horror for a beginner. Put cards that will make the deck stronger into the sideboard. Sideboarding will be an advanced rule I wouldn't explain to a player before he really knows the basic rules. I would nevertheless built a sideboard and add cards that have advanced rules/ effects. This helps you to keep the deck together and add some more fun to it when it's user has already played some games. GreetingsMuktol

You're right, of course, and thank you very much for your input! I am somewhat limited by what I have lying around spare for this little project, so maintaining a relatively balanced level of viability and success is tricky. I don't have as many playsets of appropriate cards as I expected (and I'm definitely not putting 4x [Nettle Sentinel] in!). This is especially visible in the White deck where multiple copies of cards are unfortunately low, but until I get a chance to sniff around my local store's commons box it can't be helped.I did have reservations about [Elvish Harbinger] and [Sylvan Messenger] in particular, and to an extent, [Elvish Branchbender], and you're definitely correct that they're just not appropriate starting out. Taking into consideration what you've said, I've made the following substitutions:-2 Elvish Harbinger+2 Vine Trellis (it was this or Elvish Eulogist. I'm torn between the two, but the word Defender isn't so bad, is it?)-2 Sylvan Messenger-2 Elvish Branchbender (the tactic of animating lands requires a bit of forethought and is needless)+4 Giant Growth-1 Voice of the Woods+1 Imperious Perfect-1 Elvish Promenade (its typing of "Tribal Sorcery - Elf" might be too confusing at first)+1 Elvish WarriorPlease do let me know if you have any feedback, and thank you very much for your comment ~Ionic
Looking good now."Elvish Archdruid" might be an option instead of "Vine Trellis" if you need some more mana. "Tribal Unity" or "Untamed Might" might be interesting to put this mana to use and introduce the "pay x" spells (Though "Stonewood Invoker" can also use the masses of mana)If you want to I also can give your white deck a look, perhaps I have some budget friendly ideas ;)
